"The enhanced training missions results from the wing receiving 10 Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night, or LANTIRN, targeting pods. The pods attach to fighter aircraft and provide an infrared target display for the pilot to engage.

In addition to an infrared sensor, each pod contains a laser designator-rangefinder for precise delivery of laser-guided munitions and software for automatic target tracking."

If poison deletes this entire thread then WHAT a big waste of time this has been, I am such an idiot

read the forum rules again folks.

and... look up the definition of rational

I had better get this all copied then before we loose it...

"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these".

Poison,
Not sure if you were referring to me or not.
I assume you were.
I quoted someone who quoted a excerpt from
a public link, but I deleted the two names any way.
sorry

You are not an idiot Linn.
I'm just really bored of deleting those arguements. Same things are happening again... I think you know what I mean.

So please, try not to post things that may disturb others. If you want to prove someone is wrong, try to do it in a humanistic way.

PS: It may look like I'm the "bad one" who always interrupts your conversations, but I'm just trying to do my duty in a good way. Please try to understand and help me. Not only me of course, all mods. Thanks.

I completely understand, and trust me I try to be as
humanistic as I can,
Please do not mix me up but I am refering to people saying fighter
aircraft pods are pods from plants So I couldnt shut my mouth on that one. thankyou Poison,
I DO appreciate your work

Dicipline is good for children from time to time
thanx for checking us

Ok, My apologies for swearing in my post on P133. Thanks to Mith for editing out the offending words. If what remains is still not appropriate I leave it to the mods to delete as necessary. If I get banned, well, I'll live with it.

Skytroll: yep I have this disease and nope I haven't got any diagnosis, treatment or cure as yet.

Anyone else: If you read my maybe 6 posts on this forum, you will see that the only times I have posted have been in relation to matters of protocol. I'd much prefer to be bouncing symptoms off scientists; advancing the knowledge and developing a credible profile for our condition. To build credibility we need to adhere to established protocols, not only in our science but also in our philosophy, logic and our personal ethics. Without these protocols any revelations we might bring to the discussion carry little weight.

Now, before the blogger beats me to it. Can anyone tell me on what basis Morgellons is supposedly linked to Lyme Disease? And, as a supplementary question. How is that link reconciled with reports of Morgellons Disease in countries where Lyme Disease does not exist?

Thanks

PS: Can the moderators suggest any way we might encourage more active involvement of science people to interact with Morgellons people on this thread? example: cross posting by moderators to other bio-online forums of pleas for assistance in the areas of (insert relevant areas here).

.....there is argument between labs like Bowen and Igenex, and the medical community.....

Sky,

Thats why I wonder if this 'link' between Lyme and Morgellons is a good one to pursue. There is a body of thought in the medical community which is sceptical of Lyme Disease. Add to that the fact that only certain labs return positive results for Lyme tests and I think we have some very shaky ground on which to base this theory.

I am quite concerned that this Lyme-Morgellons link seems integral to the MRF's research focus. Without evidence of a link isn't such a starting point likely to prejudice any future research they may conduct?
